I (always) feel loved – Raffaello Palandri’s Blog

Love is the universal language that transcends the boundaries of language, culture, and time. Love is also the foundation upon which our existence is built. Love is the invisible force that binds us together, fostering connection, understanding, and compassion.

SELF-LOVE: THE FOUNDATION FOR UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE

The first positive example of when I feel loved is in my inner journey of self-love, where I acknowledge my inherent worth and value. And everyone can walk this journey.

Two Thoughts For The Day | beetleypete

This is the official portrait of King Charles III.

At a time when most people are struggling to pay heating bills in the winter, and many are using charity food banks to supplement their weekly food shopping, the government has spent £8,000,000 on producing framed photos of this portrait to be hung in schools and public buildings.

Why?

Nobody knows why he has all of those military medals, or what he ever did to earn them.

 

 

This is my other thought this morning.
